 She was a famous international singing star for Québec.... of a great beauty she is now 83 years of age

Her life was a misery... a movie base on her life \"Ma Vie en Cinémascope\" was on all the cinemas last year...

Last weekend she was invited to a brunch and after her goodbye mini concert, she signed autographs. from her rolling chair, I took this picture of her old shaky hand and handwriting signing \"maby\" one of her last autograph ....

To me it was a great and précious moment...

for you to appréciate this great artist, I\'m including another picture of her in her wheelchair...

PS: only the first \"hand\" picture is for the contest

It is an Excellent picture, one of your best. Too bad you received a DQ. I like the vignetting effect that you have used.

I'd like to see the light showing us more of the hand rather than the pen. It looks interesting.

Nice idea, but just too small and too dark to see clearly, please see Learn > Tutorials > Using Photoshop to Prepare Photos for DPC Challenges.

Shame it's so small!
Edit: I can see this is a good composition, so bumping up the score. Go larger next time. :) Nice wrinkles on the hand.
